chronic subjective dizziness

Chronic subjective dizziness (CSD) is a condition characterized by persistent sensations of dizziness or imbalance that last for months or longer, despite having no clear medical cause. Individuals with CSD often report feelings of unsteadiness or lightheadedness, particularly in busy or stressful environments. Unlike vertigo, which involves spinning sensations, CSD is more about a general feeling of disorientation. It can be triggered or worsened by anxiety, stress, or previous vestibular disorders. Treatment often includes therapy aimed at reducing anxiety and improving coping strategies, rather than focusing solely on physical symptoms.
